Is it just me or are men hard to shop for? Whether it is Father’s Day, Christmas, birthday, or just because, I have a hard time trying to decide what to get the special men in my life. If I have learned anything over the years of being around my dad, husband, grandfathers, and brothers are that men like to be outside. They are grilling, working on cars, tailgating or just sitting outside for fun. I asked a bunch of men what they would like for any occasion, these were their answers.

Often times, grilling doesn’t stop when the sun goes down, neither does tailgating or just hanging out. Get a light for those nighttime men. Now the party can continue.
